Why You Can Trust CNET Best Xbox Deals: Save Up to $110 on Controllers, Subscriptions and More
Check out these great deals on various accessories and subscriptions for you to make the most out of your Xbox.
The current generation of Xbox consoles has been around for a little while, which means that some great deals are floating out there. Those deals include everything from subscriptions to expansion cards, and sometimes there's a rare discount on a console as well. To make sure you get the best price available, we've hunted for all of the best Xbox deals across accessories, consoles and games.
If you're looking to upgrade to a next-gen Xbox, there's a bundle available that includes the Xbox Series S and 2TB of expandable storage right now for $70 off -- perfect for those who want to install all of their games at once. We'll continue to update this page as offers change, so be sure to check back often for the best prices available. If you're a PlayStation gamer, be sure to check out our roundup for the best deals on PlayStation gaming gear.
If you're in the market for a next-gen console, this discounted Xbox Series S and 1TB Seagate Storage Expansion card bundle is a decent option for those who enjoy having a large game library readily at hand. The Series S is the more affordable of Microsoft's two new consoles and doesn't have a physical disk drive, but can still run all the same games as the pricier Series X. Having that additional terabyte of storage could certainly come in handy, so this is a decent option for gamers who don't want to have to pick and choose which games to keep on your console.
If you've been wanting to upgrade to an Xbox Series X, you can essentially get yourself Blizzard's hit action RPG Diablo 4 for free using this bundle. (Though we should note it's also available on Game Pass now.)
Xbox users who subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate now have access to Microsoft's cloud gaming beta, which allows you to stream games from anywhere on a variety of devices -- including smartphones. This Razer Kishi is a compact controller that holds your phone in the middle so you can enjoy your favorite console games while you're on the go. It's designed to be universally compatible with Android phones with a USB-C connector and has a similar layout to the Nintendo Switch.
Named our favorite wireless option for 2023, the basic next-gen Xbox controller is still the best choice for most people. It features a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack, and with Bluetooth connectivity, it's easy to pair with your console, PC or phone.
If you're looking for an extra controller to have on hand, this wired Power A model is one of the best options out there right now. It's highly affordable and we named it the best Xbox controller for those who are just after the basics. It features a standard button layout, a detachable USB cable and two mappable buttons for custom controls. The purple hex color has the biggest discount at the moment, but there are other colors and styles on sale at Amazon as well.
If you're a hardcore gamer, you may want to take advantage of this rare deal on the Elite Series 2 Core wireless controller. It allows you to adjust thumbstick tension and features faster triggers to help you stay ahead of the competition. Plus, you can remap the buttons and create up to three custom profiles so you can easily switch between games or players. Note that the best price is on the white controller.
For next-gen users, Seagate also makes an expansion card that plugs directly into the back of your Series X or S console for seamless gameplay. It uses the same Velocity architecture found on Xbox consoles, so it boasts the fastest load times of any external game drive out there right now, with data transfer speeds of up to 2.4 gigabytes per second.
A Game Pass Ultimate subscription is one of the best ways to get the most out of your Xbox. It includes an Xbox Live Gold membership, which allows you to play games online and also gives you access to a massive library of Xbox games that you can download and play for free at any time. An Ultimate membership typically costs $17 a month (via Microsoft), but this three-month deal from CDKeys drops that monthly price down to just under $11.
